It IS his only question of consequence. Intelligent people ask good questions, he doesn’t

I think even the economic arguments that are made for private healthcare are wrong. Even in the comparatively short term paying NHS nurses more would boost local economies as they spent the extra they were earning. Then there’s the longer term benefits of healthier, more productive population etc

It’s just weird that there’s two games to go & im not either riddled with nerves or completely deflated. All sorted.

Always explain yourself in the simplest language you can so that as many as possible have the opportunity to understand you.

I thought the same about wind turbines when cycling in the Lune valley. They are an intrusion on a beautiful landscape, but not as much as the M6 which most people will have seen them from.

Good science: keep asking questions to improve your answers.
Bad science: keep asking the same question until someone gives you the answer you want.

As an architect I’ve had the same discussion when someone says ‘why can’t we build houses as good/ nice as the Georgians/ Victorians’. The ones that haven’t fallen down are the well built ones. The ones not knocked down are the nice ones. Survivor bias.

Agree. But I don’t think it’s an either/or choice. A population with better health & wellbeing will be more productive to the benefit of the economy.

Because education is the product we aren’t educating people to lead productive, fulfilling lives.

If your first thought on a project is to keep costs down & save money it will almost always end up costing you more filling in gaps & correcting errors.

+ education & training. In the long term it’s good for the economy because you have a larger, more productive workforce, but also it enables individuals to engage & contribute which makes them less stressed, happier & healthier

It’s also bad economic policy - you don’t get a thriving economy when the majority of people don’t have money to spend.

The places that need Ebola prevention most are in Africa. They had no choice in America getting Trump/ Musk. Nor did the rest of the world outside US. Heaven help all of us

People won’t believe this from Labour. It looks as though they don’t believe it themselves and their core support thinks they shouldn’t.

In 2016 for the Brexit vote I never felt I understood all the arguments - perhaps because the Leave ones were deliberately vague. I just didn’t trust Farage & co & a big reason was their ‘cut the red tape’. Regulation is there to keep us safe.

AI could have a role in ensuring regulation is applied properly. But people need to decide what do we want to regulate & why? Then is the regulation doing what we want to do? Those are value judgements, the last people you want making them are sociopathic tech bros like Musk

Also applies to clean water.

Trump/ Musk won’t change policy because of on line speculation from people already against them. They will when insurers do the maths & decide it’s a trend, prices go up & people decide not to fly from cost/ nervousness.

You are right that this one incident hasn’t (probably can’t)been linked to policy change. The problem if you take that approach is you have to decide how many plane crashes you accept before you decide the stats make it highly unlikely it’s NOT caused by less staff/ change of policy?

There are plenty of examples of science in their countries suffering because of scientists who were excluded by the Nazis & the Soviets

I really started to use Twitter during the pandemic because of the quality of the science you could access there. The extent of the fall since Musk is shocking. For a self proclaimed tech genius he’s bent on demonstrating the opposite. So hello Bluesky, thank you.

Go to the cinema more instead? The trick big tech pull is fomo based - if you don’t one you need to substitute with another. I realise I quite like missing out. I have a bit more money to spend on stuff I like.

I would like to see government help farmers - people who do farming & make produce that we eat. Not people who buy farms, dabble, make TV shows about it to make money & then pass on their estate to family tax free when they die.

It looks like revenge. He was bought down by science that he didn’t like, so now he’s getting his own back on science for failing to take his side.

And yet BBC News still leading with Farage offering to mediate with Trump & negotiate trade deals. BBC still want to enable his idiocy.

A comedy about the holocaust has the potential to be horrendously wrong. But it was brilliant, flippant, serious and very funny all at the same time. How?

I am not an expert in this field, and I respect the fact that you are so, I will make a point of following this good piece of advice.

I helped my daughter with homework up to A levels. She always did her best stuff when she disagreed with what I suggested, told me I was wrong & went and wrote what she really thought.
